Is there a navigation app that will work while "not" connected to a mobile network?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stonent:
The built in one will work for a little bit and then stop with "Data connection lost"

It's just because it is streaming the data constantly. If google could pre-cache the data then it might work. I ran into this issue on a long trip where I went through an "Emergency calls only" zone.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
You just need a GPS app which uses offline maps.

Search for them on https://market.android.com

You should expect to pay something for them - basically, you are buying the map content.

I haven't used any of them, so I can't give a good recommendation; they are available, though.

Note that the Eris uses QualComm's "gpsOne" series of GPS chips, which uses A-GPS (Assisted GPS). The assistance data comes from the mobile network, and pre-seeds the GPS unit with an approximate location, which helps in finding a "first fix" rapidly.

What that means in use is that if you start up the phone from a cold start in a location which is outside of cell coverage - and also a fair distance from the last location where the GPS unit got a fix, it might take as much as 60-120 seconds to achieve a first fix. Thereafter, it should be able to update fixes rapidly.

I have used the Eris while driving distances of 40-50 miles in mountainous regions without cell service (using the "My Tracks" application), and it had no problems figuring out where it was (Lat/Lon) at all times, but of course it did not have any "map" data for me to view - I was operating the phone in Airplane Mode to preserve battery. I have also used it to "mark" locations of interest after camping overnight and fishing in areas that were completely void of cell service. In those cases, I was literally powering up the phone, gettting a GPS fix (might take 1-2 minutes), recording the Lat/Lot to a notepad app, and then shutting off the phone. Worked perfectly for that, but I was only getting Lat/Lon in that case.

Make sure you operate the phone in Airplane Mode - the battery will drain quite quickly if you don't do that, as the phone is constantly scanning (at full power) to try and connect to a voice (1x RTT) network.

What I have not done, though, is spent many consecutive days in the wild with no service... so I am not entirely sure what would happen if the A-GPS data got too "old" and expired. The QualComm docs suggest that the gpsOne chips should be able to operate fully autonomously, but whether that happens depends on the software. There were reports way back when the Eris was still on Cupcake (1.5) that folks that traveled outside the US could not get their GPS to work correctly.

cheers
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I have a lot of experience with trying a few of the commercial (pay) Android GPS apps. Firstly, due to research, I found that there was, at the time at least, only a very small handful of commercial GPS apps which supported MDPI (the Eris' screen resolution). Shame because otherwise some of the ones which I can't remember by name sounded very promising.

There were definitely two which did work on the Eris. Like anything else, each one had it's own advantages and disadvantages. I thoroughly tested CoPilot Live for Android v8. It wasn't bad, and I see now on their main page advertising $5 for U.S. and $19.99 for all of North America (U.S. and Canada), which seems almost too good to be true, but I verified it on the Android Market. I don't remember having any particular problems with CoPilot, I just preferred iGo My Way 2009, but their website no longer even mentions the Android except for here and I don't see it on the Market.

That's too bad but I guess that helps you to make a decision on buying one if you do so.

Maybe it has something to do with how much iGo got pirated, as alluded to in this thread.

I did buy and am currently using iGo My Way, except when it's just a shorter trip, since especially on the Eris, there is a definite slow initial load time for the app (under a minute but slow in our impatient world). Once the app's loaded, however, it's lightning fast. Definitely recognizes wrong turns a lot quicker than Google Maps.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] viogrep:
Another vote for iGo MyWay. Starts up in about 45 seconds, but it works perfect in landscape and portrait. Once its loaded its the fastest turn by turn I've ever used. (I've only used older model "JUST" gps devices though. FWIW)
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mjb413:
apparently there is a modified version of google maps that allows cache of data. I have nothing to do with this program and have not personally used it. i am just reposting here:

*edit: removed old link see other forum link*

apparently you can load it in addition to regular google maps and have both of them on your phone.

"You can enable map caching (Menu -> More -> Brut Mod -> Read map from cache, Save map to cache). This will force GMaps to save map tiles to the SD card and read from the SD card first, before attempting to download from the net. You can connect via WiFi (or any other net source) and preload the tiles before you start your trip, thus making the maps available for offline use.

The preloading can be done by simply browsing the the route you will be travelling - just make sure you do it at the zoom level(s) you desire. I believe you can even use programs like GMapMaker to download the map tiles from a regular computer, but I haven't tested this method."

edit: found the post on xda http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=630887

edit 2: also enables use of google maps in other countries

starting p235, there is a discussion of some ownhere version that uses gmaps5.1. i believe it still allows downloading of maps to cache.

So I've been playing with getting custom sounds on my phone, I was wondering if there was anyway to do custom sounds for plugging and unplugging the USB Cable?

The Sounds I want are:

Plugging in

Sturdy Cable Wav

Sturdy Cable Ogg

Unplugging

Yoink Wav

Yoink Ogg

I put both the wav and ogg formats 'cause I have know idea which one it is.

Also, is there a way to combine it with the install of start and shutdown sounds?

well I live in Egypt and my operator is Mobinil.

Mobinil's customer service number is 110, in winmo it worked just fine (and from aaany other device in Egypt obviously), but in android when i dial 110 it recognizes it as an emergency number :confused:

is there any solution? this is a really annoying bug :mad:
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] suzaku:
any help guys...?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Eelkede:
Probably since almost every (if not every) emergency number only has 3 digits (eg. 911, 112).

Your operator probably pre installed the 110 number to be redirected to their customer number (which is a normal phone number I guess). And probably in android it doesn't auto redirect to this number.

Workaround would be to save their normal customer number to your sim and dial that one instead.

[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] BillTheCat:
Looking for a contact widget that functions like the HTC Sense version (I'm running DL's DesireZ), but one that has a higher density of contacts. IOW, the HTC widget is 3x5 for a total of 15 favorites. I was looking for something more like 5 or 6 wide by 8 or more rows.

One thing that's important is to be able to have a default action on the contact as it is now, but have options to text/email/edit, etc. pop up so that I can still work with my main favorites. IOW, I don't want it to be one function (like call) only.

Hope y'all can point me in the right direciton.

I just wanted to confirm this just happened to me yesterday as well. I had just checked my storage (aprox. 1.5gb media/2gb apps) then crashed out for a quick nap. About an hour later I awoke, rolled over, grabbed my Xoom and discovered I had the same dreaded memory notification that has plagued my Incredible. Checked storage and suddenly had like 28gb in my apps! Market quit working because of this as well, couldn't update or install apps. I found no other solution other than factory reset as deleting the apps one by one did not free up the space. The last 2 apps I recall downloading were friendstream and tablet keyboard. I was thinking an errant app was downloading all sorts of stuff as I was connected to wifi or perhaps didn't know how to properly utilize the Xoom's memory as it is a little different than your standard Android device. If this is a system OS issue as it is with my Inc, this is totally unacceptable and needs to be identified and addressed by google soon.

Anyone have any other ideas on what is causing this or how to help identify where/how exactly our memory space is vanishing?

Hello!I was an owner of a galaxy s phone and thinking of trading my desire Z, for a galaxy s again in case a few of the issues the phone had, are fixed by now..

so here i go :

1) does the new voodoo sharpness fix really make a difference?i used to hate how text looked like when zoomed back when i had sgs..the colour fix seems to be great from the photos i have seen..But does the sharpness hack actually make up for the unused subpixels?

2) has there been any fixes on the GPS scene?With my curent phone i can get gps lock in 5 seconds inside the house..i am not asking for something as insane, but is it possible to get fixes now?

3)have lag fixes evolved the last 3 months?I remember using xda lag fix but the phone still was unresponsive at times..

4)Any cm7 ports for sgs yet?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magicman0:
1. Personally, I don't notice that much of a difference with Voodoo sharpness. You really can't fix it. All PenTile matrix displays look like this.

2. GPS seems to be a hit and miss. I can get a lock in 10 seconds on average.

3. Lag does not exist anymore. Samsung stepped up the rfs with froyo builds, and either voodoo or ultimate lagfix is incorporated in almost every rom and kernel now.

4. CM7 is making great progress. There are still a few issues that need to be resolved, but you can go build it and try it out for yourself right now.

Using hardcores kernel seems to make this thing fly, so lag is no longer an issue IMHO.

The problem isn't really with the software, its hardware oriented, so Voodoo sharpness can't really do anything about the "spotty" appearance of the display. This post helps to show the difference between the PenTile matrix used in our phones and a conventional RGB layout.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magicman0:
Its nowhere near as effective in real life as it is in those pictures. And you have to remember that the photos are simluated. Its likely that a regular screenshot was taken and over sharpened in an image editor like photoshop.

My eyes are very sharp, so thats why I hate reading text on this display(but not a deal breaker, I still love my phone). Other people I know don't see the ""spottiness" at all. In my opinion, if you can see the spottiness because you have good/average eyes, Voodoo sharpness won't really change much for you.
